Pretty happy with today's result for procedural map: large central island + smaller ones, nice gentle shores, steep cliffs, hills, medium mountains, and huge snow-capped mountains 🥰
Water is temporary ofc, just to give some idea. I don't have actual water implemented yet 😅
And ofc stuff like forests, biomes, etc will happen, but not right now.
Btw, the main island is ~50km in length.

The heightmap is based on just several layers of fractal perlin noise. Mountains are fractal ridged noise (= 1 - abs(2 * perlin() - 1)).
All computed with automatic derivatives using dual numbers, which I use to place stone/grass, etc.

The image shows a screenshot of a Wikipedia page about "Automatic quartz," a type of watch movement. At the top, there is a search bar with the text "Search Wikipedia" and a number "15" indicating the number of search results. Below the search bar, there is a close-up image of a watch back, showing the internal components labeled "Pinion," "Gear," and "Pendulum." The watch is made of stainless steel, as indicated by the text "Stainless Steel" on the back. The Wikipedia article explains that automatic quartz movements combine a self-winding rotor mechanism with a piezoelectric quartz crystal to generate electricity, aiming to provide the advantages of quartz without the inconvenience and environmental impact of batteries. The article mentions that several manufacturers employ this technique. At the bottom of the screen, there are navigation options including "Save," "Language," "Find in article," "Theme," and "Contents."

After Oct 7, the Israelis stopped listening to anyone on the subject of Hamas.
I don't need convincing that Israel has behaved abominably. There's a bit of Genesis 4: The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.
We would like to get past the Hamas death cult and get on to the Israeli genocide - but the Israelis stopped caring on Oct 7. Hamas oppresses the Palestinians, too.
